[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[titank]

QMS,


In summary, the P1 quota had been set by MOE is 240 for Radin Mas.
The end result can be 240-245 assuming there are twins are triplet being drawn at the last number during the balloting date.

Once the P1 registration was over, every school the Principal can have the power to decides the number of transfer in.
I know not every class is 30 especially at the beginning of Term 3. Maybe 31 or 32.

CHIJ (Kellock) - Balloting will be conducted for SC children residing outside 2km of the school.

When were you told about 77 balloting for 52 vacancies? I thought the school called up those beyond 1 km to withdraw, so by right, the 84 should represent only those staying within 1 km? http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php


Will you be attending the balloting? Do you mind updating us on the statistics?

A friend actually called up and checked with the staff after the 3rd day of registration.

Yes. I will be attending the balloting. Will try to up here again.

qms:

You should monitor the situation during P2CS. Choose a school that you guarantees you a place rather than go through balloting.


Should your child be unsuccessful in P2CS, MOE will write to you and ask you to nominate schools which still have vacancies then. If you choose not to nominate schools, MOE will post your child to the nearest school with available places.

What, then, is the backup of your backup school? Let's say the backup of your backup school is Queentown and you don't need to go through balloting in Queenstown but you need to go through balloting in Cantonment. You may like to consider Queenstown rather than Cantonment.

The limited number of places left in Cantonment after P2C means that you may not even get a chance to participate in the balloting, if at all.

My two cents.

Actually if my DS really cant enter Cantonment, any other schools outside our area will be consider too far out already. =(

Why is Blangah Rise so unpopular?

Blangah Rise have certain good PSLE students with good performance.
Cannot understand why so many years still not popular at all.
Location no good?

Perceptions are hard to change. :gloomy:

Guess my backup's backup would be Blangah Rise

Blangah Rise have 180 places available in Phase 2C Supplementary.
Those failed in the balloting from nearby schools most likely come here.
Again it would still be distance proximity in which the nearer you stay the chances to get in is higher.

1. Go to http://www.streetdb.com
2. type in your address
3. when the map is shown, scroll down to \"Search Amenities Nearby\"
4. Select the option \"Educational Institutions\" and click Search.

You will see a list of schools and academies with the distance from each.

For example, I typed the address \"Block 18A, Jalan Membina\" and got these primary schools:
1. Zhangde 0.24 km
2. CHIJ (Kellock) 1.15 km
3. Radin Mas 1.22 km
4. Gan Eng Seng 1. 27 km
5. River Valley 1.43 km

All the best!
